Why away, wandering from a,home of bliss, To find thy way through darkness home again? Wert thou an untried dweller in the sky ? I Is there, betwixt the cherub that thou wort, The cherub and the angel thou tnayst be, A life's probation in this sadder world ? Art thou with memory of two things only, Music and light, left upon earth astray, Aull, - by the watchers at the gate of heaven, pooked for with fear and trembling?

"Sure," ; said James "something's a coming " An nie, too, was somewhat perplexed, for those looks dwelt much on her. "What' is it, father ?" she said to him one morning at the breakfast table, as he sat gazing steadfastly in bar face ; ..what is it ? Do tell me." "1 wish you'd have him," burst forth like au avalanche. "Known him for six years—Ae as ' a ledger—it gentleman— real sensible man—don't talk much—reg ular clock—prime for business—worth his weight in gold." "Have who, father ?

"Father, are you serious ?" "S , riouli l child !" and he looked so Mule was a chip of the old block ; a strong minded resolute girl. A Dew idea seemed to strike her. "Father, if you are really serious in this Ma tte r , I'll see thilk Copeland get acquainted with him. If ho likes. me and I hind', I'll lia7e him.

The rest will take care of itself." "I see; I see," and one of those rare smiles illuminatel his whole face. It Ac tually got between his lips, parted them asunder, glanced upon a Oct of teeth but little worse for wear, told was resting there when he left the house fur his counting room. The twilight of that smile wee not yet gone when he reached the well known spot, and bowed, and looked "good morn ing" to those in his' employ, for old Patii was after his fashion, a polite man. On the morning of that day what looks were directed to our friend Charles I so many, so peculiar, so lull of something, that the head clerk could not but notice them, and that, too, with some alarm. What is corn, Mg ? At last the volcano burst forth. "Copeland, my good fellow, why don't you get a wife r ' Had a thunderbolt fallen at his feet, lie could not hive been more astounded. Did Mr. Bremen say that, and in the counting room too ? The very ledger seemed to blush at the introduction of such a subject. He for the first time made a blot on the fair pages before him. "I say—why don't you get a wife ? know just the thing for you—prima arti cle—pour enough to be sure—what of that —a fortune in a wife you know—a sort of relation of mine—don't want to meddle with other people's affairs, know your own business best-- 7 can't help thinking you'll be happier—must see her." ~ Now the fact is, that Charles had for seine time past tWought so himself; but how the itlitninti should have completely divined his feelings was quite a puzzle to him. In the course of the day a note was put into Mr. Bremen's !midi by Jemos, his Irish servaut, the contents of which produced another grins sort of a smile.— When the moment for his return home ar rived, Mr. B. handed a sealed document of rather imposing form to Charles, saying— " Copeland. you ' R oblige rue by leaving that at No. 67 H— stk....et.

I cannot say, however, that I approve of the decal,- tion practiced upon our friend Charles,— As however our Lord commended the "un just steward because he acted . wisely." so I suppose the good sense shown by the young lady, in choosing a husband for the sake of.what. he miglithave possessed, mer it our approbatim.

A good story is told ol Mozart, at the time he was a pupil of Haydn. the lat. ter challenged his pupil to compote a piece of music which he could not play at sight. Mozart accepted the banter, and a champagne supper was the forfeit.— Everything. being arranged betWeen.the, two composers, -Mozart took pen and j eabeet of paper, and , in five minutes dash ed off a piece of music, and much to tha itiprite ol Haydn, handed it to'' him, saying: "There in a piece of music, sir, which you cannot play, and I can t you are to give the first trial." Haydn smiled 'contemptuously at the -visionary. presuriiption of his pupil,. and placing the notes belUre him, struck the keys of the instrument.
